We are NLnet foundation. We support organisations and people who contribute to an open internet for all. If you are working on a project that helps fix the internet through open hardware, open software, open standards, open science and open data, we invite you to apply for a grant. We're lead of the @ NGIZero coalition which runs several programmes to fund those who are building free and open source technologies for the Next Generation Internet. After an historical contribution to the early internet in Europe in the 1980's, we've been financially supporting the open internet since 1997. We like hex stickers.

Today at 16.00 CET we have another NLnet Open Office hour. If you have any questions, you can drop by in our Matrix room and ask them.
You can already enter your questions to the Etherpad and we'll answer them this afternoon.
The questions that are asked are collected in a FAQ so the answers are available to others as well.
Links to the Matrix room, Etherpad and FAQs can be found at:

Each year we are excited to see how many NLnet grantees we can spot in the list of @fosdem@fosstodon.org speakers. This year is a new high with over 100 speakers!
Another record will be broken at our hex sticker table. We'll be bringing over 300.000 stickers featuring more than 300 unique hex designs.
We have 2 BoF meetups, 1 with @NGIZero@mastodon.xyz and 1 NLnet get-together and we'll be bringing snacks.
And Michiel Leenaars will give the opening keynote on Saturday.
Let's meet at #FOSDEM!

What to do during the darkest days on the Northern hemisphere? Hole up inside CCH and huddle around the blinking LEDs of #38c3 !
We're looking forward to go to Congress and we hope to see you there.
One of the things we'll be doing is a joint meetup with @PrototypeFund@mastodon.social and @sovtechfund@mastodon.social about funding free and open source projects. Day 2 at 15.00 in Saal D.
